[PATCH v8 19/30] mm: free PMD swap entries in zap_huge_pmd()
From: Usama Arif
Date: Fri Oct 02 2026 - 06:02:32 EST
zap_huge_pmd() assumes any non-present PMD it clears references a folio, so
a PMD swap entry would reach normal_or_softleaf_folio_pmd() and warn.
Worse, nothing would release the slots it points at: unmapping a
swapped-out THP would leak the whole PMD's worth of swap.
Handle it before the folio lookup, as zap_pte_range() already does for a
PTE swap entry.
